«Microsiervos» is the contemporary novel by Douglas Coupland, published by Ediciones B in paperback (541 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows a group of Microsoft programmers who leave the big corporation to create their own company and a construction game with virtual LEGO pieces. Coupland portrays with irony the tech culture of the 1990s, personal relationships, identity, and the search for meaning in a work-dominated world.
This is Douglas Coupland's fourth novel; this edition was published in 1998 and includes a prologue by Vicente Verdú.
A suitable read for those interested in 1990s tech culture and satire on the working world of the digital industry.
